How to Draw a Ramadan Mosque Boy — Let’s get started!
Step 1 – Draw the Face Shape.
Let’s start with the head!
Draw a big “U” shape—round and soft, like an upside-down smile. This will be his chin and cheeks.
📝 Pro Tip: Sketch lightly at first so it’s easy to erase and make changes if you need to.
Step 2 – Add the Ears.
Draw a small curved ear on each side of the head. They should look like little “C” shapes—one facing forward, the other backward.
👂 Fun Fact: Ears never stop growing, even when you’re older!
Step 3 – Draw the Cap (Taqiyah) and Hair.
Muslim boys often wear a taqiyah, a rounded prayer cap, especially during Ramadan.
Start by drawing a curved line above the head. Then draw another curved line to connect the sides—like the top of a soft dome. Under the cap, add a few short lines to show his hair.
🎨 Pro Tip: You can decorate the cap later with stars, swirls, or little crescent moons!
Step 4 – Sketch the Neck and Shoulders.
Draw two short lines coming down from under the face—that’s his neck.
Then draw two angled lines outward from the neck to form his shoulders. Nice job!
Draw a curved line on each side going downward to form the sleeves—just like you might when sketching arms in our how to draw a unicorn lesson. Add small half-oval shapes at the end for his hands—just like little mittens!
👕 Fun Fact: During Ramadan and Eid, it’s traditional to wear clean, new, or special clothes—like a thobe!
Step 5 – Create the Robe (Thobe).
Now let’s draw his long robe or thobe.
Draw straight vertical lines down from the sleeves and connect them with a curved line at the bottom. Then add a vertical line down the middle of his outfit—this is the fold of the thobe.
Step 6 – Extend the Robe.
Let’s make the robe longer.
Add more vertical lines down from the sides of the top part of the robe and curve the bottom line again. He’s looking ready for Ramadan now!
✨ Pro Tip: Add buttons or a decorative collar to make it look fancy.
Step 7 – Draw the Feet and Sandals.
Time for shoes!
Under the robe, draw two small rectangles with curved tops for sandals. You can also draw straps or a toe line to make them more detailed.
👞 Fun Fact: In most mosques, people take off their shoes before entering—it’s a sign of respect and cleanliness.
Step 8 – Draw His Face.
Let’s give him a happy face!
Draw two circles or dots for eyes—kind of like you would when learning how to draw a snowman with a big happy face.
Add small curved lines above for eyebrows.
Draw a curved “U” shape for a smile.
Add a tiny curved line for the nose.
🥰 Optional: Add blush, freckles, or eyelashes if you’d like!
Step 9 – Color Your Drawing!
Now for the most exciting part—coloring!
🎨 Some ideas to inspire you:
Cap: Green (a color often associated with Islam) or blue
Thobe: White, yellow, or any festive shade
Skin tone: Use the colors that feel right to you
Sandals: Brown, blue, or even rainbow-colored!
🖊️ Pro Tip: Outline your drawing in black pen before coloring to make it stand out and look extra sharp.
Pin it now, Draw later!
